4/25/2025
Mark your calendars! The 2025 ARRL Field Day will soon be upon us. The ARRL Field Day theme for 2025 is “Radio Connects”. The dates are June 28-29.
Come join us at 1285 W. Camino Encanto, Green Valley (Santa Rita Fire District Headquarters) for a day filled with camaraderie, playing radio, lunch, munchies, and just good fun.
We’ll have 2 IC-7300’s setup, 1 for phone, 1 for CW. We are even going to have a GOTA Station setup for those that are unlicensed and want to try out Ham Radio.
We will have a “networked” computer system for Logging, using the N3FJP Logging Software.

We are currently in the planning stages for the 2025 Field Day event. Watch this page for more updates which will be evolving regularly.

ARRL Field Day 2024
Our results are tabulated - you can still help.. See item #5
- We have wrapped up our submission for Field Day 2024. 26 Folks signed in on the Sign up Sheet, we had an information table, met in a location open to the public and used 100 watts or less on two radios.
- We had 5 operators during the event making 345 contacts, 104 on SSB (Phone) and 241 contacts using CW.
- All this should should garner us 1422 points, more or less. Not bad for this year.
- Thanks to Lou Navarro and Bob Newkirk for the antennas, Tom Lang for the organization, all of those who came for the potluck and to the members and family members who showed up to support our efforts.
- John Perlick has reported that if you will associated your submission from HOME with the Green Valley ARC your contacts will be added to the Club Contacts. This is a new feature for this year.
From the rules:
An aggregate club score will also be published, which will be the sum of all individual entries indicating a specific club (similar to the aggregate score totals used in ARRL affiliated club competitions). Participants from any Class can optionally include a single club name with their submitted results following Field Day. For example, if Podunk Hollow Radio Club members Becky, W1BXY, and Hiram, W1AW, both participate in 2024 Field Day -- Hiram from his Class D home station, and Becky from her Class C mobile station -- both can include the radio club’s name when reporting their individual results. The published results listing will include individual scores for Hiram and Becky, plus a combined score for all entries identified as Podunk Hollow Radio Club.

ARRL Field Day 2020
2020 Results:
The results of Field Day which appears in the December issue of QST. Rick Rogers has this analysis...
There is no listing I could find that lists the results purely by points so I had to go thru every entry to find points higher than our club. This is just the points regardless of class of station or any other factors. Here we go;
Total entries: 10213
Our points: 7922
Entries scoring more points: 206
Max points listed: 73149 (whew)
According to the arithmetic that puts our club in the top two percent points wise of all entries. Great job folks!
